Comment on Let's talk about Prusa Printables contests. It might need some fixing.

What was the actual issue with the insect hotel one?
Are the winners chosen by prusa or just on public votes?
Either way, I’m not sure that they should have to moderate all the entries, just the ones that win (within reason)

Plastic is the wrong material due to moisture building up inside and some other pitfalls.

I started to design one myself but realized it was a bad idea. For starters, and effective design wouldn’t use much plastic: Bamboo or other kinds of material used for the tubes already stack together really well and it is much easier to stack them in a box glued together or use thin wire to bind them. Any additional design components translates to waste, IMHO.
And like you said, the plastic is bad to keep outside. If it wasn’t for the moisture, direct sunlight would deform most common materials.
